Mixed-race families thrive with intentional support systems
The mixed-race population is the country's fastest-growing demographic. Millions of children are growing up with dramatically different experiences from their parents, bringing a unique set of challenges that don’t get covered in the average parenting book.
But with humility, awareness, and the right kind of guidance,
you can become the support system your children need in every stage of their developing lives.
I'm here to help with that!
My book helps mixed-race families foster their children’s identity formation.

Be the support system your child needs to embrace all of who they are.
Though you can’t control how your child experiences the world, you get to help shape their identity and purpose within it. My book will guide you through this process.
Hi, I'm Nicole!
I’m a biracial kid, parent of two young Black men, and voice for all-things race
Since I grew up in both Black & white communities, I firsthand experienced this journey — from feeling alienated and different, to fully embracing my mixed-race identity. I’m here to be a voice for your children who may not have the words for this experience yet.
After joining a diverse community at Dartmouth College, I began self-educating on the history of race and racism. I’ve spoken at various seminars, town boards, schools, and organizations both Christian and secular. I aim to speak and write in a disarming manner, enabling productive conversations where different cultures intersect.
My husband and I bring a unique set of traditions as we raise our two wonderful young Black men. We know the heartache that comes with walking your children through difficult race-related conversations, while also knowing the joy of seeing them embrace all of who they are and where they came from.
